Not long after the Panthers lost to the Broncos in Super Bowl 50, the New York Mets directed a tweet to the teams.

The message to the Panthers basically was to “keep your head up.”

As you know, the Mets were beaten by the Royals in the World Series last fall, so New York could empathize with how the Panthers were feeling.
